When Valentine’s Day rolls around each year in February, we see candies and chocolates in heart-shaped boxes and Valentine’s Day cards all adorned with the cute little cherub we loving call Cupid..
Cupid was the son of Venus, the goddess of beauty, and Jupiter, the god of commerce and wrestling. To the ancient Romans, Cupid, otherwise known as Amor, was known as the God of Love. It is said that once you were shot with an arrow from Cupid’s bow, you would fall madly in love with the next person you meet. But, Cupid did not always have good intentions, at times Cupid was just plain cruel. Sometimes, Cupid would mischievously toy with others affections by matching up couples with complete opposite qualities just to see what would happen.
